Originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had been doing their utmost to nurture Xiao Yu, but who could have expected that Tang Chen, the once undisputed strongest in the world, would return?
This directly derailed Ning Fengzhi's plans. Under the overwhelming pressure of Tang Chen's terrifying strength, Ning Fengzhi was forced to reconsider the future of his clan.
"What about Rongrong? She's deeply in love with Xiao Yu. Moreover, if this causes dissatisfaction from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family..."
"Rongrong has grown up. It's time she understands the seriousness of clan matters. After this, we'll bring Rongrong back. Perhaps Xiao Yu isn't the best choice after all. Although Tang San's talent isn't as great as Xiao Yu's, he has a powerful ancestor."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's decision, the Sword Douluo looked at the Blue Tyrant Academy, where the aftermath of the explosion was gradually dissipating, with a complex expression.
He could clearly see that Ning Fengzhi had been utterly terrified by the overwhelming power Tang Chen had recently displayed.
His once calm mind was now completely dominated by fear.
On the battlefield at the Blue Tyrant Academy, as the explosion's aftermath faded, the entire academy lay in ruins.
At the center of the battlefield, as the dust settled, Dugu Bo, Liu Erlong, Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao stood unharmed.
After the previous exchange of ultimate moves, all four of them felt varying degrees of shock.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, in particular, were even more astonished.
They hadn't expected Dugu Bo, known for his poison, and Liu Erlong, a woman, to be so powerful.
Tang Hao's ring explosions and Tang Xiao's Killing Technique were both comparable to the full-force attacks of a 97th-ranked Super Douluo.
Such attacks, even individually, would be something that Yu Luoming and Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family couldn't withstand even if they joined forces.
Yet, they had been blocked by Liu Erlong, a woman, and Dugu Bo, once considered the weakest Title Douluo.
What shocked them the most was the terrifying burning sensation from the flames Liu Erlong had released. Even now, Tang Xiao felt a lingering fear.
After this clash, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao gained a new understanding of the strength of the Blue Tyrant Academy and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
If Ancestor Tang Chen hadn't returned, perhaps the Clear Sky Sect truly wouldn't have been able to overcome the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
After all, they didn't believe the five Title Douluo elders of their sect could defeat Yu Luoming and Yu Yuanzhen working together.
After a brief silence, Liu Erlong spoke with a fierce expression.
"Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, if you want to take Xiao Wu, the two of you aren't enough. Either fight to the death, or get out of my academy!"
Hearing this, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's expressions darkened.
Fighting to the death? The Clear Sky Sect was now thriving, not on the brink of collapse as before. How could they be willing to risk their lives? But if they didn't fight, without using ring explosions, they couldn't defeat Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo. Moreover, Yu Luoming was watching closely from the sidelines.
But if they used ring explosions and entered a weakened state, what if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan swooped in to take advantage?
However, having come this far, they couldn't simply leave willingly.
Thus, they found themselves in a dilemma.
Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo were prepared to fight to the death.
In contrast, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, now with a future to look forward to, were hesitant to risk everything.
Seeing this, Tang San's expression turned grim.
He had called upon his father and uncle, yet they still couldn't suppress Dugu Bo and Liu Erlong. This was something Tang San hadn't anticipated.
Would he really have to ask Ancestor Tang Chen to intervene?
"By order of Crown Prince Dai Mubai, the Zhu sisters are to return to the Star Luo Empire!"
Just as the situation on the battlefield grew tense, a powerful voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Following the voice, two burly figures strode into the battlefield.
Hearing this, Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo's already grim expressions turned even uglier.
The Clear Sky Sect meddling was one thing, but now the Star Luo Empire was also getting involved?
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, who had been watching from the sidelines, were shocked.
At such a critical moment, Dai Mubai had sent people to kick them while they were down?
"We're not going back. Tell Dai Mubai to give up!" Zhu Zhuqing declared firmly, looking at the two Dai family members.
"Hmph, little girl from the Zhu family, whether you return or not isn't up to you!"
Soon, the two Dai family members released their Evil Eye White Tiger spirits.
Two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings appeared beneath their feet.
From the aura they emitted, it was clear they had reached the 94th rank, Title Douluo level.
Seeing two more Title Douluo-level experts arrive, Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo's expressions grew even more grim.
Dealing with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao was already difficult enough. Now, they had to face two more 94th-ranked Title Douluo. How could they possibly withstand this?
"Gentlemen, since our goals align, why not cooperate?" Tang Hao suggested solemnly to the two Dai family members.
"Agreed. The Crown Prince has ordered that, if necessary, we may temporarily follow Tang San's commands."
The two Dai family members spoke emotionlessly, like robots.
Hearing this, Tang San's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said, "I am Tang San, Dai Mubai's sworn brother. Please assist my father and uncle in defeating them!"
"Agreed."
Seeing the four of them formally join forces, Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo's expressions grew increasingly desperate.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, how much longer are you going to stay in seclusion? I can't hold on much longer!!"
Liu Erlong glanced subtly in the direction of the Silent Thunder Gorge, her heart filled with anxiety.
"Liu Erlong, I'll ask you one last time. Will you hand her over or not?"
Tang Hao gripped his Clear Sky Hammer tightly, his fifth, sixth, and eighth black soul rings beginning to tremble.
If Liu Erlong refused, he would immediately unleash the power of ring explosions!
Despite the pressure from four Title Douluo, Liu Erlong remained resolute.
"Impossible!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
As soon as Liu Erlong spoke, the three black soul rings on Tang Hao's body exploded.
